📖 Substitutions
- Baby Spinach Leaves - although I use spinach solely here you could use a mixed bag of spinach and lettuce leaves.
- Beetroot - use pre-cooked beetroot (it's less effort and no roasting required!). I use the beetroot you get in the salad section of your supermarket in packets. Then grate it with a grater.
- Walnuts - I lightly toast the walnuts in a small pan first. You don't have to toast them if you don't want to. You could also use other nuts too.
- Hard Goats Cheese - I prefer hard goats cheese but soft goats cheese will also work.
- No Fat Yogurt - use plain or Greek, it really doesn't matter.
- Honey - use runny honey to make the dressing.
- Wholegrain Mustard - needed for the dressing.
- Dijon Mustard - needed for the dressing.
- Freshly Grated Salt and Black Pepper - used to season to taste.
